Energy transformations

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as converting solar energy into electrical energy.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms.

Front

What type of energy is produced by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object is raised higher?

Back

When an object is raised higher, its potential energy increases due to its position relative to the ground.

Front

What are the three types of energy produced by a television?

Back

A television transforms electrical energy into light, thermal, and sound energy.

Front

What is an example of mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object, such as a moving car.

Front

How does solar energy transform into electrical energy?

Back

Solar panels convert sunlight (solar energy) into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a battery?

Back

A battery transforms chemical energy into electrical energy when it powers a device.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often felt as heat.
